Development

Administration

Embedded GLIBC (EGLIBC) was a variant of the
GNU C Library (GLIBC)
that was designed to work well on embedded systems. EGLIBC strived
to be source and binary compatible with GLIBC. EGLIBC's
goals included reduced footprint, configurable components,
better support for cross-compilation and cross-testing.

EGLIBC is no longer developed and such goals are now being addressed directly in GLIBC.

Recent developments include:

EGLIBC 2.19 Branch Created

There is now an EGLIBC branch based on GLIBC 2.19.
For changes in GLIBC 2.19 please see this file.

Configurable Components

A primary feature of EGLIBC is support for configurability. You can
build EGLIBC without support for NIS, locales, or other things that
you may not need in your embedded system. The
options.def
file in the source tree has a list of the various components that have
already been implemented. The
original design
explains more about the EGLIBC component system. The
features page describes other
features of EGLIBC.
